Does Anyone Have a Project that Could Use Wago's Pluggable Tools-Free Connectors?

rscasny
rscasny over 2 years ago

imageI was speaking with WAGO who would like to some element14 members to use some of its pluggable connectors.

We first discussed a roadtest. In general, we don't roadtest connectors unless they are part of a larger eval kit. The timing for a design challenge for the remainder of this year isn't quite right as far as scheduling goes.

So, we thought we would ask if any of you would need their products for a project you are doing? If so, we would get some for you.

Let me tell you about the Wago pluggable connectors:

WAGO's pluggable connection system provides a 'tools free' solution for your wiring applications. The system includes seven product lines (2.5–7.62 mm/0.98–0.3 inch pin spacing) and terminates conductors ranging from 0.08 to 10 mm2 (28–8 AWG), offering a wide range of application possibilities.

imageFeatures:

  • Versatile pluggable connection system for continuous system wiring
  • Easy cable pre-assembly and on-unit wiring via vertical and horizontal actuation for the CAGE CLAMP® variants
  • Push-in CAGE CLAMP® termination of both solid and ferruled conductors
  • 100% protection against mismating that's easy to implement
  • Compact and versatile designs
  • Easy-to-customize coding options
  • Intuitive and tool-free lever actuation
  • Universal connection for all conductor types
  • Push-in termination of solid and ferruled conductors
  • Test slot 90° to conductor entry
  • 100% protected against mismating
  • Coding option available
  • Rapid in-the-field connections

    These look very nice. I'm working on a project where I'll need these kind of connectors at some point (probably next year). The low end screw-based terminal blocks have many inconveniences compared to…

    Feel free to start a new deluxe edition thread lol I think the labjack u3 looks much nicer than my widget

    I like that the connectors are broken out into groups of 4 so its supper obvious to see what pin is what. Flippy lever would be a bonus, though I do like using the screwhead as a test point with my multimeter.

    Just need a resin printer and some silkscreen printing to get there. Slight smile

    Isn't it more a case of clear labelling that makes it super obvious to see what pin is what ?
    Although Miller's 'The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two' will come into play as the numbers increase so grouping 3 to 5 could help.

    I guess the ideal grouping will depend on use case, whether or not you tend to use a lot of IO or just a few at a time. Smaller pin count connectors tend to plug in more easily though.

    Looks like there are test points in the Wago connector. Not a screwhead, but the feature is there.

    Perhaps the 3d model doesn't include that test point passage

    I'd like to see the next raspberry pi with some solid connectors like this.

    I'm redesigning my Ender 3 v2 Neo printer to have all Bigtreetech electronics. Would Wago products be able to handle such small gauge stranded wire?

    I've used them on solid copper AC residential wiring. The worked fine for that. The longevity still needs to be seen though.

    That's what I use. I was just asking since they were proposed.

    I use this tool for almost every project:

    /products/roadtest/rv/roadtest_reviews/58/knipex_self_adjustin

    Ferrule tools are amongst the best purchases ever for good stranded wiring to Wago connectors as well as screw terminals etc.

    I have a second ferrule tool as well (which crimps in a kind of criss-cross fashion), plus a "crimping pliers" style one that will put an indent in, but the one linked above is by far my favourite. (a pity it's shot up in price over the years, but the alternatives like crimping pliers are affordable, and still good).

    I've got  pretty good tool that I bought on Amazon, but thanks for the link. As I said, I only asked the question, because the Wago connectors were proposed for use.
